The fork transfers energy to the soundboard and the soundboard expresses that energy in the 'best' way it can. While there might be a little side to side motion of the assembly......that is the path of most resistance....The path of least resisitance to the energy transmitted by the fork would be an up/down movement of the board..........so although the energy would be traveling in all directions the most evidence of such would be up/down as opposed to any other direction.................
